✴ Cosmica Chrome ✴

Cosmica variant I made to celebrate 1000 downloads of Cosmica V1.0! Making a chrome effect in pixel art was waayyy harder than I expected lol.

You can download them for free on my itch > https://toumeya.itch.io/cosmica-chrome-cursor-pack

Relics of the Sanguine Rose - A vampire-gothic themed cursor Windows, made with pixel art.

I wanted to make my own cursor with a vampire or goth theme in mind. So here we go, these cursors are finally made. It's a complete set (except for the uncustomizable stuff like zoom and grabbing hands), includes that fully animated moving "busy" hourglass and left-handed versions for those who are using left hand.

I made them specifically for windows but feel free to convert the cursors that work for MacOS or Linux.

About the size:

Windows automatically make cursors become 32x32 in size (thats the default size), and if you try to resize the cursor in the Windows 11/10 mouse settings (in "Settings" not from the control panel). It would revert to one of Windows' default cursor look if you try using the resizing sliders. The cursors are originally made 128x128 (like large size cursor), but Windows automatically put it to 32x32 (or other sizes if you adjust the scale from setting)

Yep... that's moving hourglass alright, good to look at while your program waits.

Softwares used:

Clip Studio Paint (drawing them)

GIMP 3.0 (making the png's become .cur files)

RealWorld Cursor Editor (adjustments and such)

Download links (its free, like free beer... or blood for vampires):

> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.
